    Coprocessor Driver Nvidia for MSI laptop


    Having done some searches online before landing here.. it is evident that finding this coprocessor driver has been an issue accross several laptop manufacturers.

    I am running W7 Home Premium 64 bit

    Here are my laptop's specs:

    laptop- MSI A6000
    chipset_ As stated in MSI literature- MCP79MVL (nvidia)
    motherboard- As stated by Speccy utility/tool by Pirfoform- MS-1683 (micro star international)
    GPU- Nvidia 8200M G

    The issue: Under Device Manager scroll down to Coprocessor .. Yellow triangle warning and exclamation mark
    in the middle. Upon checking detailed info from the device manager program it says driver out of date or missing.

    I have installed Nvidia Geforce Experience (Nvidia's own driver updater/installer) software which updates automatically.. I did a manual update yesterday after running a Nvidia scan off Nvidia's website.. it updated everything but the coprocessor. Which is still in warning phase.

    I have read some mention that perhaps a Vista 64 driver would work..

    I need help

    That's an interesting problem since the coprocessor is normally part of the CPU. Can you post a snip of the hardware manager showing the device? In the mean time, run SFC /scannow from an elevated command prompt (Option two). This will check to make sure all system drivers are valid according to shadow copies.

    My processor is a Core 2 Duo E8435 @ 3.06ghz .. I am an enthusiast, and can follow instructions but I am not a IT pro.
    I have used the command line but may need more detail.. "elevated".. you mean right click n run as admin? Sorry, I'm a layman here and my knowledge is confined to self/fixes preformed over time found online.
    The Google search of "Coprocessor 8200M G" unleashes a treasure trove from people with many different pc makes having this Coprocessor error/alert.
    Here is the path and description.. Start-Computer-System Properties-Device Manager- Scroll Down to Coprocessor and there is a yellow triangle w exclamation and an error listed. Code 28 which is a driver code.

    MSI's site sucks .. pretty much.. I went to their site and to support/downloads.. tried searches on A6000, MCP79MVL, and MS-1683.. all yielded zero results.

    I have an HP desktop and their site is very friendly in finding info/support for their products.. not the case with MSI unless I've done something wrong.

    I'm still not clear on the device. Are you talking about a display adaptor or the numeric coprocessor in the CPU? The "path" doesn't help. I need to see YOUR device manager. Use the Snipping Tool to save an image of the DM area in question. Upload/Attach that image to your next message using the Paper Clip in the message tool ribbon.

    Yes, elevated command prompt is Run as Administrator. Follow the instructions in the tutorial.

    Added: You need to search the support area for your laptop model such as A6000. PC Manufacturers seldom list updates by motherboard. (Unless the motherboard was purchased separately.)

    For some reason they named your Model CR 600 .. That is why you could not find the Drivers ..


    MSI Global ? Notebook & Tablet - CR600

    Ok.. ran SFC/scannow as Admin.. "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations"

    The Nvidia Geforce Experience scanner shows my drivers health at 100%

    The E8435 is a socket P cpu that was made for Apple, I have been running it successfully for 2 years in
    my MSI A6000. System Properties identifies it at E8435 .. Speccy by Piroform identifies it a an Intel T9900.. Thecommon assumption is that when Apple began using Intel cpus .. Intel rebranded several for use in their
    computers. When I installed the E8435, at the time a T9900 was about $100 used on Ebay.. the 44w version
    of the E8435 was $50 and I had read of successful installs of the E8435 in pc's.. As my install is 2 years old and performance has been outstanding.. outpacing some newer I3's and I5's I consider it a success.

    No wonder I couldn't find it.
    Helps to know what PC we're talking about doesn't it.
